Why Is Ward's Straight Right So Weak?

[BoxingFan85]

Ward is lefty iirc.. I don't know if it was his dad or Hunter who changed his stance from southpaw to orthodox when he was a kid.. left hook is Ward's best punch also btw..

hes feather fisted, some people were born with power and he wasnt. instead he was born with the ability to bore people.

Converted southpaw, he hooks off his jab nicely and that kept Kovals right less active.
He will go to the body more often this time using both hands.
If he has success using that method it means Koval is not beating him using his right. If Koval can't close distance and get his right hand active the fight will be a repeat of the first one.

Hopefully this doesn't become to tactical because it will take away from the action.

He has a weak straight right because he is left handed. Many converted southpaws have a weak right hand and Ward is one of them. When he scores his infrequent knockdowns it's with a left hook and not a right hand.

If son of gifts throws his right it opens him up for Kovalev's left. son of gifts knows what a flush Kovalev left will do to him.

i don't know how weak it is but he barely used it vs kovalev, it was all jab and an occasional left hook

Kovalev will be using double left hooks off the jab a lot in this bout.

This sure was funny..

Those aren't very easy punches to throw especially against someone as quick and smart as Ward.

I am not a Ward fan but he adapts as good as anyone and I honestly don't think that Kovalev can pull that off.

I think Kovalev can definitely win but it's not like he's going to do what he wants in there.

was it powerful to begin with?
